Who we are What we do Contact

Who we are

Our work is carried out by an efficient staff, hands-on board members, a network of incredible volunteers, and numerous partner organizations on the ground in every region we serve, each bringing local expertise and long-term relationships that make our results possible.

We are career-long teachers, scientists, economic developers, religious leaders, and civil servants; we are heavy equipment operators, farmers, electricians, and plumbers. We lean on white-collar and blue-collar peers from around the world to contribute their unique experience and world view to inform and enable our work.

Our board has committed to personally covering all day-to-day administrative overhead costs, allowing 100% of all outside donations to directly fund our fieldwork instead of paying executive salaries. This commitment to delivering zero-waste aid to those who need it most speaks to the very core of our mission.
